PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION OCT. 19-21, 2018) — Okay, with the metal molten and forming rivers from the incendiary D.A.’s race … with the site traffic hitting all-time highs, … with the comments section riding rationality’s rails only to veer off both left and right into the looney hinterlands of each respective side … with several developments in said race coming out from under the rocks and blipping the radar … and with a need to cool the jets …

Let us go, then, into more soothing territory this weekend — into Cough Drop land, all menthol, glycerin, and good. Let us be borne back, back, back …

——— 000 ———

On Feb. 9, 1964, THE PLANET joined 73 million other Americans watching agape as The Beatles broke into “All My Loving” on The Ed Sullivan Show. We were hooked. That band changed lives, including that of brother Mick, who then-and-there decided to be a musician. To this day, he can still be seen on stage, guitar in hand and mic in front, performing, having made a living — and a good one — from playing his passion.

It’s a source of great amusement that to this day the band’s music remains as popular as ever — maybe more so, as John, Paul, George, and Ringo have ascended into myth. It’s irrational, of course, but again, ever since the dawn of human consciousness and self-awareness, we’ve known that sentience without emotional outlet can only end in some form of insanity. Thus, we say, “Long Live the Fab Four.”

John Lennon had it right when he said in 1966 that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, leprechauns, Santa Claus, Organized Religion, The Beatles: Without our myths, we don’t function sufficiently, let alone optimally.

The Beatles went through an amazing metamorphosis in their 10 years together. Phase 1 were the early years from 1960 to the sacking of Pete Best in June ’62. Then followed Beatlemania, from then until they stopped touring in August 1966. Next, the Studio Years that went from the Summer of Love until the arrival of Yoko Ono. Finally, the Dissolution ended the creation. Since then the lads from Liverpool have risen to an apotheosis, the post-post-modern age’s closest facsimile to godhead.

———- 000 ———-

While each period in the band’s life provides enormous fascination, THE PLANET favors the Beatlemania years, with the group putting out hit after hit on the strength of John and Paul’s songwriting. The songs are too many to mention, going from the obvious such as “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “She Loves You” to the more obscure gems “There’s a Place” and “You Can’t Do That.” The music still conveys an infectious joy. Even at their most introspective (Lennon’s “Hide Your Love Away” or “In My Life”) the songs are irresistible and sound as fresh as the first hearing.

The apex of The Beatles’ achievement was and is the Sgt. Pepper album. This epic, recorded on what today would be considered primitive four-track machinery, broke creative barriers with the writing, performing, and technological experimentation. The Beatles had an unmatched knack in the studio to know how far to push it and when to hold back, reminding us of Andre Gide’s dictum that “great art is borne of constraint and dies from too much freedom.” It’s a lesson that today’s artists do not know.

How does a band follow up an album hailed as the greatest in pop music history? Nothing could satisfy this challenge, much less the pastiche of The Magical Mystery Tour. By then, it became clear The Beatles were floundering, keyed by Brian Epstein’s death in August 1967. They stopped listening to people like producer George Martin, splintering in separate directions. Then there were the drugs. You know The Beatle did drugs, the old joke goes, because they let Ringo sing. Drugs, ego, and Yoko spelled doom, ending with the Let It Be disaster. Apple, The Beatles’ legacy company, to this day won’t release the film. The dream was over, though they had one final gem in the Abbey Road album.

Individually, Paul has had the most prolific career, though George proved himself to be an equal or better songwriter. George still has the distinction of producing the greatest Beatles’ solo album, his All Things Must Pass opus. John fell under the sway of Yoko and suffered the most artistically, failing as he did to produce anything post-Beatles to equal McCartney or Harrison. And Ringo … let’s just say he just stayed Ringo.

To convey the true magnitude of the band to anyone below the age of 50 is nigh impossible, but they still enjoy the music, and that’s enough.

Cool the jets, won’t you, and have a great weekend, everybody.

The Gman is known extensively throughout the scientific and engineering community globally as he traveled the world educating scientists and engineers about the significant cost savings via use of flotation technology vs sedimentation technology in drinking water and waste water treatment. The two leading pioneers left in flotation technology are Dr. Wang and the Gman. They have been very successful promoting flotation technology as it was incorporated in the Croton water project in NY . The use of flotation technology vs sedimentation technology saved the rate payers of NY over 2.5billion dollars. Gaetanis who saved out city over 100 million when he built the water plants says he can save the city today 40__50 for the proposed sewer updates. Any politician interested in saving the rate payers tens of millions of dollars should be all ears but look what you have for politicians. Never the less the Gman is out there trying to help you and always will till the day he dies.This is who the Gman is a decent honest brilliant scientist Always looking to help someone.

I’ll cool the jets till Tuesday and Let It Be, but Cacc is gonna need A Hail Mary if he doesn’t get crackin’. Hiding Harrington is not giving him free press and he is hardly coming out of his corner. He needs an Ed Sullivan moment and not a moment too soon!!!!
I hear Mazzeo took it to the airwaves Thursday and told her “she threatened me” story on the radio.

Lying Don Trump made hundreds of millions off the Saudi’s, his quote.Don is letting the Saudi’s off the hook for killing a media reporter of Saudi power and its goverment.Lying Don is OK with this body dismemberment in your name.If Lying Don is OK then your OK.

Trump supporters are usually speechless to his policy always deflecting to another day or waiting for another immoral response in our names.Fox news is always there and they can tell you that we need the Saudi leader.

I just figured out when we were great and why Trump wants us to be great again and that is the period of time when Americans were uninformed and denial was in.We can’t know what we don’t know.Gets us off the hook.
Example,We know Allendale School has PCBs on the property blowing in the wind,we also know it is built on a toxic swamp of poisons and if we stay in denial and dont talk about it we don’t have to address our student going to school there.Transfer all Williams school kids to Allendale and it won’t be open next week.If I would stop bringing it up the toxic swamp just vanishes. Trump controls your conversation because he needs your votes.

TSC. You can bring a mule to the drinking trough but you can’t make them drink. A great number of Americans aren’t thirsty enough yet but they will. I believe they will be coming to the voting trough on nov.6th ready to drink a lot of democratic sanity water. We will be very well refreshed after we drink

I was wondering if any one was going to take time out from the ramblings of the self interested DAs race to mention the Boston Red Sox. As much as they seem a distant thought to many they do deserve a quick mention. A footnote, if you will, to the turbulent times we are now living.

The public open house for the new Taconic High School is today from 3pm to 6pm. Taxpayers have been saddled with extroadinary debt for this school, and yet officials decide to make it as difficult as possible with a 3 hour window to come out to see it! One more thing!!!!!

Thanks Spa for posting that info. Since I don’t get the Beagle, I was unaware that the open house is today. Why didn’t they schedule this for an evening, say 5-8, so working stiffs like me could attend??

One of the cool things about the Beatles music is the gen x’ers and y’s listen to it, when I flip on the sound. Another cool fact politically is they didn’t get into the endorsement game. I can just imagine John with his British accent. We strongly support Hillary and hope you do too…

On Monday, Oct 22 at 5 p.m., The Christian Center, at 193 Robbins Avenue in Pittsfield, will host open conversation about violence and dangerous situations that continue to happen in our community. In attendance will be Mayor Linda Tyer, Police Chief Michael Wynn and members of the city council.

Clown Show??? It will be if the Gman doesn’t show up. It will be a standard rump kissing without him but with him the public will see his well thought out ideas to protect every one even you Tiny Barbados. See his petitions I mentioned where he gives some ideas to curb crime. You fail to realize Tiny that the Gman fears no one and calls it as he see,’s it. You see he is brave and you are a coward hiding behind a pen name. Just Sayin

Dan, now we have something on which we can truly disagree. Shaved Fish is, to my mind, a top 10 all time album; by FAR the best Beatles solo creation. Ram would be second. Paul and his god-awful Wings stuff, and everything else, is just not in the same league.

And its funny, Edward R. And I are diametrically opposed on everything else, so why shouldn’t we be here too. I am a Stones guy by about the same ratio as he is a Beatles guy, and I do love the Beatles, just love the Stones much more.

MR G
SHAVED FISH was a solid work, no doubt. Lennon’s artistic suffered because of (a) his disastrous political period (b) his animus toward Paul (“One thing you can’t hide is when you’re crippled inside”), (c) his “Lost Weekend” in LA with May Pang and Harry Nillson, (d) his reclusiveness owing to Yoko, especially her falling for astrology. Wings was mostly as you say, but BAND ON THE RUN was Paul’s solo masterpiece. As for the Stones, yup, we dig them, too.

Abbey Road has always been my favorite Beatles album. It was the final time they were in the studio together (Let it Be, which came out a year later, was recorded and filmed before Abbey Road). The medley on the B side is incredible. Sgt. Pepper’s was a masterpiece that has stood the test of time, but their two previous albums, Rubber Soul and Revolver, were good transition pieces that led to Sgt. Pepper’s. I have the Beatles channel on my XM radio all the time.

H. the Gman has 3. All fantastic. ,1 asking the council to start a dialogue protecting senior citizens from having to pay interest on late paid property taxes. 2 He is asking to give a presentation to the CC about a better technology he has found to remove phosphorous which is significantly less costly than the proposed ballasted flocculation and more importantly less labor intense and much more efficient in removing phosphorous. He states that he and his partners might be able to do a one year pilot demonstration for practically no cost to the city. Finally He again is pushing for foot patrols in the west side and morning side neighborhoods without spending an additional Nicolle of taxpayer dollars. He proposes that beat cops in both areas do the following. They walk their beats for one hour. Next an officer who is in a cruiser takes the places of the beat cops and those that just walked the beats are in the cruisers. This can be accomplished with beat cops in the two areas 24 hours a day. You can see how very down to earth the Gman is. He is one of the most sophisticated individuals I know but he is excellent in reducing things to plain common sense Now we have to see if Marchetti allows the legions. Any one with half a brain would lock onto these petitions but we will see. Do the right thing Marchetti!!!!!

I’m glad Tyer is in the city .Pittsfield has a landlord problem.On Cherry street the out of town 1%ers have run that area to the ground sucking every nickle of proffit of these homes.When will Tyer move on the landlords instead of residents.When corporations buy these homes there should be a process and the buyers should be asked their plan.Greed is ruining Pittsfield.We must stop the tax growth by consolidation of schools
Piiisfield has over 1000000 square feet of schools…..Mccandless is not going to close anything

Manafort will deliver obstruction of justice and collusion against Scump. Mueller already has everything. Judge will postpone sentencing till Jan and he better have all his singing done by then because if he holds back one teeny tiny little bit ellis will sentence him to life. All ellis has to do is recharge him for the 10 counts he dodged and down he goes. Next up Scump and his family. Justice and truth and decency and morality and empathy and ethical behavior alwyx win out. Always. The truth will set us free and we will be free zoo .

Scump supporting body slaming indivoduals and in next breath calls democrats an angry mob. This halfwit is dangerous and those that support him are as much a halfwit as he is The US has never seen a more vile individual as this. He will be tamed on Nov6th and on nov7th his dismantling will start. I for o e can’t wait.

Trump could beat up a whole class of immigrant children and then take on take on a bunch of crippled children if he wanted to. And then have a phony Time Magazine cover made depicting him standing over them.

Johnny. Fox news could film him doing these things and then tell his base that this is what needs to be done and his base will swallow it hook line and sinker I don’t know if your being a little factitious in your remarks but this is how I read it.

CL How about this one. He beat up 14 of them but it was the last one the one holding the bone saw who got a few slices in that finished him. We all know what this was about. It was about sending a message to reporters that if you criticize MBL you will be secretly slaughtered and if we mess up Scump will take care of it. This is what we have come to under this sob but his days are numbered. Scump will be looked at and be remembered for the dictator he is and we all know how dictators end up. 18 17 16____Bye Bye Scump.

This Saudi butchering has more holes in it than a piece of swiss cheese. Pun intended. Scump working with saudi’s to get their stories straight. This is how autocrats operate. They think they are above the law and Scump thinks he will get away with be complicit in covering this up but he will pay dearly. The whole world is watching and we will get to the bottom of this and will find out why Scump didn’t condemn this from the onset.18 1716___Bye Bye Scump.

Every single republican senator voted to kill Obama care and now everyone one up for re election says their for it. Lies are the order of the day for the republicans and they will keep up the lies because they have no morals or shame but the real danger is the base behind these liars. We can not let this runaway train continue because it has to crash sooner than latter. Let’s put the brakes on onNov6th. If not this train is going to crash

“If you like your health plan you can keep it” wasn’t a lie? Should be more worried about the hundreds of millions massing on the southern border to invade, there won’t even be functioning hospitals and electricity soon enough

Hundreds of millions??? What source does this come from? There is some parts of Obama care that needs to be fixed but it is turning out to be a program that more and more people like. Even the republicans up for election now are getting on the band wagon even though they tried to kill Obama care earlier this year. At present the republicans have nothing to replace Obama care with. Hypocrites all of them.

So true and so sad Art. For many, many republicans this runaway train is coming out of the tunnel aimed right at them. They not only cannot see it but refuse to look to see if it is coming at them. They are willing to sacrifice their own families welfare in order to blindly follow the messiah. It did not work out for Jimmy Jones followers and it is not going to work out for Trumps disciples. Sad for all of us because we are all just looking for a decent life.

Doomie Gloomie, Artie, TSC, et al, CV was spot on, as usual. Let me spell it out for ya all, as we say down south – The majority of Trump voters understand his limitations and weaknesses and made a conscious decision to vote for him anyway because they just want a decent life. In a generation we went from God, apple pie, the American flag, and law and order to a pitiiful, progressive, diversity infested culture that Is okay with a man taking a trophy rom a woman because he identifies as a female, heroin heads shittin and shooting up in the streets, violent mobs attacking and threatening people based on their beliefs, open borders, chief diversity officers, bathroom use based on feelings rather than biology, and a war on cops based on fake news. I pray daily, believe in a higher power, had apple pie for dinner last night, value all life, especially police officers’ and unborn childrens’, value assimilation for legal immigrants, proudly piss with the private’s God have me, safe streets, secure borders, and advancement based on ability, not skin color or gender. I stand for the flag, kneel for the cross, and put my hands where the boys in blue tell me to put them. And I think to myself, What a Wonderful World we had, once upon a time in America, and in Pittsfield.

P.S. I also believe in due process, not this me too moment bull spit. 36 years – gimme an effin break!!!!!

Yes,return to the state of denial because its uncomfortable to live in the truth.Corporations and 1%ers want to make it great again for you.Being poor also requires that you be uneducated.You believe patriotism is a state of acceptance. Trump understands what you don’t and that is Media was bought by the powerful to control the truth after the 1970s started to unravel the worth and unmask who controls it .The media is now firmly in the hands of the swamp.The swamp want division and they have it.They want no unions collectively barginingwith them and they have that.They want education to be unfunded and ignorance to take hold.They want corporations to have rights and now they do.They want you to live in fear of each other and mission accomplished.They are controlling how you believe.Reporters asking questions are the enemy.And the swamp is using real people to pull off the lie.Trump is winning and the republicans support his message.President Reagan went after unions,the after public education,the the ciurts,the lawyers,the laws,then your morals then your patriotism…you bought hook,line,and sinker.I believe your winning and you will get what you want.

The Democratic party is going after people who are uneducated with their message of “Socialism is great” because the uneducated haven’t figured out how they are being fooled by the far left. They really believe that government will take care of them from cradle to grave and there will be no price to be paid for giving up their freedom. Educated people KNOW that we will all pay a heavy price for letting government take complete control.

Thank you for your attempt at clarification Sister. And if you would please indulge me a monet further. What is it that you believe Trumps detractors are missing that is so wonderful about him and his capabilities? Why do I see such a different person than you do? Serious question and I hope you give a serious non fox news answer.

Trump’s detractors are jealous Hillary supporters who want revenge for her which is all they care about. The majority of them are wealthy so they are not excited about a great economy because they benefit no matter who is in charge. If the economy goes belly up while they worry about impeaching Trump, they will be fine thank you very much while sipping their $20.00 lattes and laughing about getting revenge for Hillary. These wealthy far left Democrats could care less about those who have been suffering from a lack of jobs and a poor economy. It’s all about revenge for Hillary and big government control.

Vote the far left people out in November. Their only agenda is big government control which they will achieve by convincing the gullible that big government will take care of them. It will not be in the style they are anticipating though. Everything, including healthcare, will be one size fits all. In other words, not great healthcare since so many things will NOT be paid for. This will apply to anything given out as so-called freebies by the government.

In a word, nothing. The guy is a fraud and a phony perhaps, but he is making America great again and normal red blooded Americans are actually excited for a change because we have a president who is putting America first. You see him as he is, people on the other side see him for what he is doing.

She didn’t say he was a fraud or a phony. If you think he is, then that’s your opinion. None of these presidents are perfect, but NO WAY president Trump is a fraud or a phony. The man is a HIGHLY INTELLIGENT person who says stupid things at times, but so do all of us if we are honest.

Joe Biden and his stupid remarks are well known and numerous. The last I heard Biden might be running for president in 2020.

Well if Biden does, can’t wait until that debate. Neither will be around 2020. Biden will step aside for another. Trump will resign because of scandal. Hopefully a moderate whatever will pull this country back together,

Many of the insane posting today. Not even worth responding. Here is a question for the insane. Who said that if the the republicans win the congress they will start gutting SS Medicare and Medicaid?A hint. He also tried to gut the ACA last session and gave away 2 trillion dollars of your tax dollars to the kardashians and their ilk. One more hint. He has pre neanderthal and neanderthal ancestry lineage. Start guessing

Scump: Democrats want to raise your taxes and take away your health insurance. Scump knows some will believe this including several who post here. The sane know these are lies. #’s 5219 and 5220. I guess there are many out there who call an apple a banana. Sad very sad 171615___Bye Bye Scump. Good ridance.

Now Scump says he is working on a middle-class tax cut in nov. No details of course I thought he gave you a tax cut pat. Have you seen it. Tell us how much? Are you still taking in all those lies. By now you probably look like the baby trump balloon. Trump supporters can be shown documentation of scump lies and still believe it. What should we call these types?????

Art. It is no use, While the country goes down the poop shoot, the lemmings shout out the Fox news narrative. People like Pat love to distract from the real pile of crap this country has become because of trump.

Harrison. Your correct. When you try to have s conversation with some one who doesn’t know right from wrong or the truth from a lie all communication comes to a screeching halt. Scump has spun over 5200 confirmed lies and evidently these lies mean nothing to his followers. Think about it 100 million american citizens can’t’see thru this. Scump will be gone soon but what are we going to do with a 100 million lost souls who do not know right from wrong or the truth from a lie? Thank God there is 250 million intelligent citizens in this country and we will carry our nation forward as we have always done. 17 16 15 ____Bye Bye Scump and after that re indoctrination for the other 100 million lost souls. Amen.

Dan,
Game just ended. Syracuse vs. North Carolina. What a game! Last second win for Syracuse in a double overtime game. Your picture tells it all. Because of the extreme pasting Syracuse gave Colgate (thanks to Jim Brown) in my last game against them, I find it difficult rooting for the Orange, but I did today – my pain has abated.. Your team was terrific.

The house will be taken by the dems and that is all that is necessary. Dem house means subpoenas. Expect the first subpoena to be for Scump to divulge income tax returns. Translation: Bye Bye Scump. May not even need any other subpoenas after we see these. Oh happy days coming.

1. Employer mandate. Most companies will have to provide and pay for expensive government-determined health insurance for their employees or face federal fines.

2. Anti-conscience mandate. Religious organizations will be required to provide free sterilization, contraceptives, and abortion-inducing drugs to their employees, even if it violates their religious beliefs.

3. New and higher taxes.The law contains at least 20 new taxes totaling $500 billion that will hit medical innovators, health insurance, and even the sale of your home.

4. The Independent Payment Advisory Board. IPAB will still stand, with its rationing power over Medicare.

5. State exchanges. States will be compelled to set up vast new bureaucracies to check into our finances and families so they can hand out generous taxpayer subsidies for health insurance to families earning up to $90,000 a year.

7. Higher health-care costs. The Kaiser Family Foundation says the average price of a family policy has risen by $2,200 during the Obama administration. The president promised premiums would be $2,500 lower by this year. Hospitals, doctors, businesses, and consumers all expect their taxes and health costs to rise under Obamacare.

8. Government control over doctor decisions.Value-based payments, quality reporting requirements, and government comparative-effectiveness boards will dictate how doctors practice medicine. Nearly half of all physicians are seriously considering leaving practice, leading to a severe doctor shortage.

9. Huge deficits. The CBO has raised its cost estimate for the law to $1.76 trillion over ten years, but that is only the opening bid as more and more people lose their job-based coverage and flood into taxpayer-subsidized insurance. At this rate, the cost will be
“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.”

You don’t know the truth from a lie. Why would any one want to carry on a conversation with you? Talking to you and your ilk is like talking to the wall or worse. A waste of time. Go back to your man cave or wherever you hide out before coming forward with more bs to post on this thread. We’ve seen your drivel and you have confirmed yourself as a full blown disciple of scump and you will end up just like scump. Those that follow the devil end up in hell with him.Try to save yourself.

Well, who is feeding them along the way? Who is providing, what shall we say, hygienic services? Where all these people going to the bathroom? Somebody has to have planned for this. This kind of thing as a spontaneous combustion-type event? They wouldn’t have made it this far if there weren’t somebody feeding them and if there weren’t services for them along the way. And I want to know who it is.

May 2017 scumps try to kill ACA..Two months latter sen. Mccarther submits bill to try to kill it again. Oct 2018 Scumps trying to save ACA. Lying Son’s yeah there for it now to get elected but their dinosaur leader McConnell said yesterday that if pubs take congress he will gut it. You can’t trust these SOB’s any further than throw them Every last one of them have to go or we soon will not have a US of America. Down with all republicans every last one of them. Its one lie after another. Let’s hope they do no further damage now to nov. 6th . Sanity will prevail on nov.,7th that’s a certainty. And the subpoenas will fly and soon after bye bye scump. This sob has no clothes or brains. Just an orange haired rotten ball of lard and a disgrace to the sane of our country. You can tell I M pissed. Can you???

GKW. I am a staunch democrat but I agree with you that Krol and seven other democratic councilors and the. Buffoon tyer need to be moped out. I’ll go further and call for the heads of all the school committee members who are also democrats. I call things as I see them. I don’t follow the party line as you just heard me call for all these light weight’s heads. I look at a situation with an open mind do some research and develop my opinions. What I am most interested in a politician is their veracity. When I see one lie after another which this president is notorious for that’s it for me. I see this president as a monster who is dragging our republic down and I know I have a responsibility like all other Americans to try to contain this rogue liar before he does further damage. This is how I feel and I know positively that the US is in grave danger every day this monster is in office. Another thing I am positive of is the house will be won by the democrats and very soon afterwards trump will be charged with so many criminal charges that he more than likely will resign and if not he will certainly be impeached. One last thing, we have to pray no serious crisis occurs before we get rid of him because can you imagine him having his hands on our nuclear codes?? I shutter at the thought of it. These are just a few reasons why I hate Scump. Can some of you Scumpsters tell me in an intelligent manner why you like Scump. Remember the key word is intelligent

Paul Ryan has been promising to do that for the last five years. He will lead the charge and take the hit because he is leaving and like so many other spoiled entitled brats could care less about real people.

I think Putin has put a chip in Trumps brain and is instructing him to destroy America. He is well on his way. The dominoes are beginning to fall…one to another, one to another click,,,click….click click click buh bye now

Yesterday I watched a woman knock at my door, then leave a AH flyer…after she left I picked up flyer that said sorry I missed you…like it was actually AH going door to door when in fact most definitely not AH who was at my door…what a phony campaign

X Thanks for thinking I am the Gman. I am flattered. I have said it many times before that there is no one like the Gman. I wish I had his brains and balls as I would not have to post daily on this thread. Are you aware what the Gman is trying to do for you? You seem to dislike the Gman. Why? Do you see him at Cc meetings sub committee meetings ? Do you read his letters and commentaries in local media? He is out there trying to help you you half wit. Aren’t you happy he is on our side or would you like him better if he was a coward like the mayor council! And school committee and yourself I don’t get it A man trying to help all citizens and some of them throwing stones at him. I just don’t get it.

Liz Warren and Hillary continue to do more damage to the Progressive Democrats. We now find out that Liz also took some of the recipes for her cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” from other sources while claiming them as her own. This is in addition to proving that she is even less Native American than most Americans.

Vote Jeff Diehl.

Hillary is claiming that Bill did not abuse his power in the Monica affair even though Bill was President of the United States and Monica just a lowly intern at the time.

Johnny Pat is a fully indoctrinated scumpet. Once fully indoctrinated expect no further dialog of any significance. Expect just parroting of the scump drivel. Pat thinks she is going to see a huge reduction on her income tax. Her savings won’t allow her to purchase a Big Mac at McDonalds. Sad.

Yep the scump and fox motto from a scump disciple. On Nov 7th your going to have to get some new phrases. Keep an eye out for rush and Sean and tucker. They will cue you when they want to reprogram you. You are a fake robot.

The truth is that Republican states have bad economies and Democratic states have high flying economies. Pat ,I want you to know Hillary is retired and not running again.Also ,the banks are afraid of Senator Warren because shes trying to stop them from stealing your money.

Let me reiterate again. The dems will win the house and on Nov.7th the subpoenas will fall from the sky like snow all over Scump. What will be different in this subpoena snow is that it won’t melt on contact but will stick like glue. This snow will fall from a beautifully blue blue sky. Bye Bye scump and good ridance

Back up and look at Wilson’s post. it says hundreds of millions are amassing at the borders. The real number is about 7000. This is typical of scumps followers. They don’t just tell lies they tell mega mega lies and the scumps base believes it. There in lies the threat to our republic. Soon we will be known the united states of lies unless we do what we know we must do on Nov.6th. I am confident

It’s amazing to me that the far left people think that anyone who likes President Trump is indoctrinated, but they can’t see that they themselves are indoctrinated to the Progressive Democrat philosophy. I know that I am not indoctrinated to anyone or any group since I will vote for who I like whereas they will ONLY vote for people who are Progressive Democrats. That is a clear sign that they are indoctrinated to a particular political philosophy to a degree that is just NOT healthy.

Pat, maybe trump will give you a nice job guarding immigrant children in cages. Wouldn’t that be fun? You could yell and sneer and call the little bastards derogatory names all day. Hannity can help you out with the names.
And don’t forget to wear your little red Trump hat when you apply cuz he likes that.

Sorry Pat. Your post is complete BS. Moderate democrats like me really despise Trump, not so much for his policy, which really sucks, but for the completely despicable human being he is. So again. It’s not the FAR left, but everyone outside the 40%.

Scumps handling of Saudi killing a total disgrace. Human life takes back seat to money for scump. Kushner pushing scump not to admonish bin Salman. Anyone care to answer why he doesn’t want scump to admonish? This scump and family is a growing cancer on our country. We must put an end to this buffoonery on Nov.6 th

The mafia Republican Party supported by voters who want to cut education ,Medicaid ,Social Security,lower wages and take away human rights and give them to corporations.I do not support this and pat does.

These 7000 people trying to come to the US is not an immigration issue it is a humanitarian issue. Many are fleeing certain death in their homeland and to undertake a 2500 mile trek on foot one must be very desperate. How we handle this human misery will say a lot about who we are. Shall we just ship them all back where they come from or should we do what we can to help these people resettle in different countries including our own country We know what scump will do because we know he has no heart but what will we do? We say we are a loving country and now is the time to prove we are. I say we try to do what we can for our fellow human beings.

Although we know plenty already about scump’s deviant crooked life this pales by comparison to what we will find when he is ordered to divulge his income tax returns. This will tell us all what we need to know about this miscreant. Rosenstein was quite strong this week when he said the american people would see that the Mueller investigation will provide real results the american people are waiting for. It is my impression that Mueller has everything he needs to sink Scump and I also feel he has seen all of Scumps income tax returns already and he is just waiting for the mid terms to be over and he will unload I believed he will deliver his report to congress on nov7th and impeachment proceedings will commence within seven days of delivering his report to congress. I may be off a week or two either way but this is what I am anticipating happening. Anyone have any other predictions???

First it was 2,000, then it was 5,000, now you are saying 7,000 people. Initially Honduras or Guatemala exporting their problems,then Mexico lets them pass through their southern wall (yes, they have a southern border wall), and probably encourages some of their people to join.

These countries cannot keep exporting their issues to the USA. I thank God that President Trump is in office or this invasion would have been accelerated.

Why didn’t Mexico welcome these downtrodden people. They could assimilate into Mexico very easily with a more similar language and closer cultural ties…

Build the wall. Activate the military, we are under an invasion, an economic invasion. Also, cut all economic aid to these countries and Mexico for their assist.

Trump being desperate to hold the congress is tal!king about a middle class tax cut on nov.1st. This is just another lie as legislation would take many months if not years to pass the congress. Further more he buffaloed people like pat that he gave her a tax break when he gave corporations and the rich 2 trillion of our tax dollars in his tax cuts earlier this year. We just can’t trust this Sob .It is lies upon lies and his base is as strong as ever but that won’t be enough to save scump because the intelligent will show up at the poles on Nov6 and that will spell the beginning of the end of scump rule.

McConnell on Blomberg Tuesday: If we win control on nov6th we will start reducing SS Medicare and medicaid. No mention of any cuts to special interests or additional taxes on the rich. Let’s hear from pat and the scumpetts about these statements. Fire away.

Absolutely true. Scump introduced violence into the campaign and we have seen disgusting behavior on both sides. Nothing of any good can come when Americans take up fists for each other. We need to come to the realization that facts are facts and lies are lies. This is an enormous problem and we need to all work together and demand civility to be the order of the day. We don’t hate each other we hate some of the things that others say who are on the opposite side of the fence from ourselves but we can adress that also in a civil manner and contribute to the conversation at hand. I am certain all of us on the planet have more in common that is good verses what divides us but constructive conversation requires civic participation with reflection rather than answering a post with gutteral answers such as TDS and a few other choice e monikers which are used here daily. I also have to check myself as I have been caught up in the hysteria and acted in a manner which I am not proud of either. Lets see what happens.

Well, who is feeding them along the way? Who is providing, what shall we say, hygienic services? Where all these people going to the bathroom? Somebody has to have planned for this. This kind of thing as a spontaneous combustion-type event? They wouldn’t have made it this far if there weren’t somebody feeding them and if there weren’t services for them along the way.
